Emily ★★★★★

Those color plates inside are just gorgeous, and the little pictorial label on the front makes it feel like a real treasure. Found it in surprisingly solid shape for a book from 1920, pages are clean and the binding is still tight. So glad I grabbed this one.

Amelia C. ★★★★★

The green cloth cover with that little color label on the front caught my eye immediately, and the nine color plates inside are just as charming as the stories. It’s clearly a 1920 printing, and the pages have that lovely aged feel without being brittle.

Hazel ★★★★★

The color plates inside are wonderfully bright for a book from 1920, and the binding feels sturdy despite its age. It's a charming little piece of children's literary history that arrived exactly as described.
